Lead/Silver (Early 17th century-1854)

Geology
Carboniferous Limestone.

Workings
A lease for the sett was granted to Rowley by the Grosvenors as early as 1622. The land was later leased and worked by the Quaker Company prior to 1720. By 1721, they are recorded as sinking a windshaft, and by 1730, a Newcomen engine was on the sett (Bevan-Evans). The very rich mine worked the Pant Vein, which ran in an east-west direction. Part of the sett has already been lost to quarrying. The remaining area consists of large shafts and spoil with no related structures, given over to pasture and partly enclosed as farmland.
